of internet age are ”scalable startups”
Scalable startup

capital• These companies are
the real startups

The start
The Garage started with grassroot initiatives by a group of students and entrepeneurs at Aalto University
![Page 29: Introduction - The wonderful world of startups | 2011](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54434f31afaf9f0e118b48f0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Why?
We saw the need for change in the entrepeneurship ecosystem in Finland. This was the fall of 2009. The garage was empty.
